Home Building Inspectors and
Mold Stains
Q. As a city building inspector, I often inspect homes under construction which have black or blue mold stains in the construction timbers and roof trusses. Is this going to be a problem for the homeowner? [Feb. 28, 2004]

A. Yes. If the home experiences high humidity [60% or above], or suffers a future roof leak, siding leak, plumbing leak, or basement or foundation leak, the already existing mold growth in the timbers will continue growing, and end up causing potential health harm to a home's residents. How to protect new homes under construction from mold infestation is explained at New Home Mold. Mold remediation techniques are explained at Mold Remediation.
